Dear Dr.Servaas,
I was diagnosed with histoplasrnosis(组织胞浆菌病)30 years ago .At that time, my doctor told me that it was lung fungus(真菌)that could affect my eyesight.This has happened·Can it affect other organs of the body?
F.Buongiorne
Delta Junction,Arkansas,
Most people have no symptoms resulting from the lung infection,explains histo expert Dr.L.Joseph Wheat,when symptoms do develop,they are usually mild and will disappear without treatment
In some cases,however,histo can spread from the lungs and cause more serious problems.
“Histo is more severe in persons with diseases that reduce thcir immunity or who are receiving immunosuppressive(免疫抑制)medications,”says Dr.Wheat,"In such cases,histo can spread from lungs to other parts of the body.Patients with this type of histoplasmosis usually have constant fever,sweats,and weight loss·Excellent tests are available to diagnose this type of histo,and the treatment is highly effective·”
As mentioned by our Arkansas reader,eye problems accompanied by vision loss have been reported long after the first infection.
"Histo is thought by some to be a cause of spots on the back of the eye,called ‘histo spots’,”notes Dr·Wheat.“These injuries cause no problems in some patients, while in others they cause visual loss.There is no proof that histo causes these spots, however,as the organism is not found in the injured parts,and treatment for histo is not effective for the eye spots.”
People catch histoplasmosis by breathing extremely small spores(孢子)of the histoplasma fungus into their lungs·This fungus is commonly found in areas polluted by bird or bat droppings such as caves,chicken cages,barns(谷仓),and under bridges.It will spread through the air during construction or whenever plowing,sweeping,or digging disturbs the soil.

It is well-known that good habits do us good all our life. Entered high school. I took delight in having fast food and often eat too much.

Though problems are a part of our lives, it certainly doesn’t mean that we let them rule our lives forever. One day or the other, you’ll have to stand up and say, “Problem, I don’t want you in my life.”
Of course, we’ve been fighting troubles ever since we were born. Problems with friends, parents, girl friends, husbands, and children---- the list goes on. Apart from these, the inner conflicts within ourselves work, too. These keep adding to our problems. Problems come in different shapes and colors and feelings.
But good news is that problems can be dealt with. Now read on to know how to solve your problems.
Talk, it really helps. What most of us think is that our problem can be understood only by us and that no talking is going to help. But the truth is that when you talk about it, you are setting free the negative energy that’s been gathering within you. Talking helps you move on and let go.
Write your problems. Having a personal diary can also be of huge help if you don’t want a real person to talk with. When you write down your problems, you are setting free all your tension from your system. You can try throwing away the paper in which you wrote your problems. By doing this, imagine yourself throwing away the problems from your life.
Don’t lose faith and hope. No matter what you lose in life, don’t lose faith and hope. Even if you lose all your money, family…, you should still have faith. With faith and hope, you can rebuild everything you lose.
Your problems aren’t the worst. No matter what problem you get in life, there is another one million people whose problems are huger than yours. Tell yourself: when they can deal with them, why can’t I? Your problems might just seem big and worse, but in reality they can be removed.
Go about and solve your problems because every problem, however big or small, always has a way out.
1.According to the passage, the first paragraph is trying to ______.
A. upset the readers. B. encourage the readers.
C. laugh at the readers. D. please the readers.
2.What is the main idea of Paragraph 2?
A. There are different kinds of problems.
B. Problems are too difficult to deal with.
C. We have to fight problems in the whole life.
D. We have more and more problems.
3.According to the passage, when you talk your problems to others,________.
A. you will be completely understood by others.
B. you can find a way out from others.
C. you will create another problem
D. you can live on easily.
4.Throwing away the paper with your problems means________.
A. you have solved your problems.
B. you don’t need anyone to talk with.
C. you are throwing away your problems
D. you’ll have no problems any longer.

Besides, my mother is gift in cooking, but the students will be able to enjoy delicious Chinese food. I would great appreciate it if I could have the chance make friends with them.
Looking forward to your reply.
